    Animal shelters are full of animals waiting to be adopted. They already exist in this world. Bringing an animal home is compatible with veganism and reduction is harm.

      I’m of this mind too, but then I wonder if I’m perpetuating pet ownership culture by “rescuing” all these byproducts of an unethical industry. Plus feels weird not to let them leave?? for their own good??? Like am I an abuser, idk, it’s kinda fucked and I don’t know how to feel about it.

        That’s a fair point. Like how I would not wear a leather jacket if given to me or from a second hand shop, because that’s the product of murder.

        You also can’t set domesticated animals free in nature. They would wreck havoc in the environment.
